Event / Concert 2nd AKB48 group singing contest (2019/10/31)

I watched some, but after watching all of last year I honestly couldn't get excited about this at all, same group of people singing the same set of songs...

 

Oh, one of those guys that we all envy.

But... Mineyoshi...

 

she made relatively big SPL∞ASH last year already so not a great surprise

 

I wanted to know how different the results were from the 1st one and here you have:
IN: Minegishi Minami (didn't participate last year), Shirai Yukino (didn't participate last year), Mimura Hino, Mineyoshi Arisa, Asai Nanami
OUT: Takeda Tomoka, Shirayuki Kouhaku (graduated), Nojima Kano (didn't participate), Utada Hatsuka (didn't participate), Shiroma Miru (didn't participate), Otake Hitomi

So Takeda Tomoka and Otake Hitomi are the only finalists from last year who participated this year and didn't get to the last round..

 

She is our voted esu (that counts the most right?)

 

you have to feel for kiara
as much as i want odaeri to enter the final, she really didn't do that well this time...

 

they should've waited a bit longer to hold the 2nd contest,it feels the same as the first one

 

Miichan isn't the best in every song. She just needs to get this one song on point. And I think that is one of her strengths. Key songs in concerts with her were always good... in my opinion

 

In the midst of this, Nojima Kano was pushed into a singing competition, judged by a machine call JOYSOUND, against other idol groups from Nagoya during AICHI GIRL'S EXPO 2019.

Scoring 93 points by singing JUJU - Yasashisa De Afureru Youni, Kano won and earned herself a Solo stage, Christmas event held at Sasashima Live.

2 Crown in 1 year
